News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

There is no reason for removing content like this unless an individual is specifically inciting violence, calling for murder, etc. just like always has been the case. Ridiculous policy and frankly worthy of locking down Reddit again.

Fuck Reddit. Glad I left that shit hole.

we have no choice

You are working for free moderating an obviously heavily censored shithole. You have several choices, starting with deleting your account.

Speaking of which, anyone have a copy of it they can post?

That’s it? I guess the idea is to suppress it to hope that this goes away sooner?

This revolution needs to get real French, real fast…

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You know that one ended with the reign of terror followed by the crowining of a monarch that then embroiled the entire European continent in war, right?

If this isn't the spark, considering the momentum it has, nothing will ever "get French" for them.

For a supposedly gun infested and ultra violent country, there is an eerie calm lasting for decades.

Most probably this was a one time thing?

It should've been obvious by now whose side Reddit is on, but not allowing neutral reporting on Luigi's own words is a bit too establishment even for them

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean that the company whose CEO caused a diaspora of users with his profit-seeking behavior may be siding with CEOs and not with the CEO killer?

What a dookie instance. Can't believe I spent over a decade in that corporate zoo

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It wasn't always like that. The real shitshow only started when Huffman took over.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, it didn’t start as one, but it morphed into one over time. Early Reddit was pretty great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Except for all the child abuse of course

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I wasn't aware of the ol platform enshitification pattern. Hardly anyone was - probably the creators and administors of reddit weren't entirely aware either.

We were just a bunch of folks on the net trying things.

platform enshittification

It was called Eternal September back from Usenet days when the Internet was mainly an academic thing and every September old users braced for an influx of freshmen starting new academic year and getting access to newsgroups. I was aware shit was reddit's final form even back in 2006. I'm actually surprised the shareholders left it unmolested for so long.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

When the students came in and got on Usenet, that was just regular September. Eternal September when AOL or CompuServe, or one of those added Usenet. It was like the kids never had to leave at the end of the academic year.

So can I post something that's NOT Mangione's manifesto and just change a word or two?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's reddit. You can do anything you want as long as you love the taste of boot.

“To Nintendo, I'll keep this short, because I do respect the legacy of what you’ve built. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary research, basic plumbing know-how, and a lot of patience. The notebook, if recovered, has some scattered notes and plans that outline the gist of it. My toolkit is pretty locked down because I’ve spent years perfecting my craft in fixing leaks and navigating pipes, so there's likely not much info there. I do apologize for any disruption or shock caused by my actions, but it had to be done. Frankly, these corporate overlords simply had it coming.

A reminder: Nintendo has long been a giant in the gaming industry, but for decades, the reality is that they’ve leveraged their power against not only creators but their own loyal fans. The restrictive policies, the aggressive legal tactics, the artificial scarcity—all these tactics are designed to extract immense profits while stifling innovation and community-driven creativity. It has grown and grown, but as the freedom for creators? No, the reality is, this company has simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to exploit their position because fans and consumers have allowed them to get away with it.

Obviously, the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly, I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have highlighted Nintendo’s tactics—shutting down fan projects, ceasing the production of beloved games without explanation—decades ago, and yet the problems persist. This is no longer an issue of awareness; it is a question of unchecked power. Evidently, I am the first to challenge it with such brutal honesty.”

"we have no choice but to follow Reddits guidelines"

There's another choice, but that would require you to look past reddit.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't lemmy.World admins also have an issue pinned earlier?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah we’re not allowed to discuss jury nullification.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A legal part of the justice system cannot be discussed?

Not that the mods are aware, but if Reddit disappeared tomorrow, I (sadly) suspect most users would go to Twitter or various Discords.

We will tolerate these beatings because we are still in love with the assaulter.

Hidden Donuts, why are you hiding?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I am? Or am I missing a joke here? Wouldn't be the first time

In Linux, putting a "." before a file/folder name hides it. ;)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Ah shit my cover is blown, never used Linux

There’s no hiding it. They can tell by your socks.

And before everyone starts dunking on LW, a mod has said that the manifesto would be allowed

If it’s confirmed, I don’t see why not. Depends on the community, of course. I’m sure !lemmybewholesome would remove it.

I'm definitely not the biggest fan of the current overcentralization of users and communities on LW, but it's still important to show what their stance is.
